Some Lightroom Fun on this Friday

I love photography.

Nothing new there, except my Nikon and blossoming business (more on that soon). My friend Ashley, who I find amazingly talented, has been encouraging and helping me learn for over a year now.

Photography has proved to be my zen. When nothing else feels right and I pick up my camera, this overwhelming feeling of relaxation overcomes me.

I haven’t talked about it much on here until now and I’m not really sure why.

Not far behind my love of catching shots using the right lighting/exposure, shutter speed, aperture and framing my shots well, came my love for editing. Not too surprising considering my other passion – graphics and web design. Every once in a while I capture that perfect picture where I feel it doesn’t need anything else, but what picture can’t use at least a tiny bump in contrast and brightness?

I’m a DIY-er and I’m spending lots of time online trying to learn more, so I thought I’d share this video I found – Lightroom 4 Tutorial – Haze Look with Curves:

TGIF!

« I don’t feel like writing

Sometimes I wear makeup »

Hello and welcome. It’s been a while. For Lent this year I decided to fast from the thing that took too much of my attention from what is truly important: Social Media. Though there are countless amazing benefits to Social Media, after about a month offline so far, there are seemingly just as many negatives. I never realized how much of my brain had been hijacked by it. I’ve had so many revelations about how much easier it is to move forward when I’m not constantly reminded of the past. But I still want to record my family as they grow at this ridiculous speed and, I’m realizing, so many of our family’s memories are here. Those along with so many of the struggles and stages we’ve worked through. Maybe in the midst of COVID19 isolation and my kids around me so often, I’m brought back to a time when they were too young for school and with me so often. Writing here during that time helped make up for the limited adult conversation in my days and the overwhelm provided by my… little treasures 😉 My husband, fur babies, three fiesty kids, and I hereby extend an invitation to visit this little sneak peak into our life. We’re super flawed and broken and there aren’t too many dull moments around here. And I promise it’s not always as magical as some of my golden hour, sun-soaked images would suggest. There’s usually too much coffee in my system and we welcome all the prayers. Come on over if you want to process with me.
